Secret Commission Bill Targets Bribery and Fraud
The bill on secret commissions, now debated in the House of Representatives, imposes indictable offences on anyone accepting or offering a bribe in a principal's business. Corporations face a £500 fine. individuals may be jailed two years with a £500 fine or both. Fraudulent accounts and self dealing by agents are similarly penalised, with bribes recoverable. Trade custom is no defence and abetment is punishable.
